One of my PCs gets a message like that, because it considers the BIOS to
be too old.  Using acpi=force as a kernel parameter got that PC to work.

Another of my PCs needed its BIOS options tweaking about power
management and which version of ACPI it was using, before the hardware
would work properly.
